As you can tell in my picture I got my *kitten* kicked by the almighty sun and i'm not a big fan of the battle wounds.


I've heard all of the cures for sunburn from milk, to vinegar, to having my buddy pee all over my shoulders in an R-Kelly type fasion and I was just trying to get the general population vote on how to subdue this savage beast.

I have a double header tomorrow and I really would like to swing the bat without crying like someones 2 year old who didn't get an ice cream cone.

So please help me find alternatives! That R-kelly thing doesn't sound pleasant at ALL lol.

    Find a lactating woman and have her hook your skin up. It seriously works. I understand that may be a tad difficult to come by ;)

    Banana Boat makes this blue stuff for sunburns... it takes the heat out quickly and helps it feel much better. You can get it at most places like walmart, shopko, etc I think. Also Aloe Vera works wonders!

    What has helped me is rubbing a ice cube all over the sun burn and then applying aloe vera gel. It helps keep it cool.

    As far as the double header tomorrow- please make sure to cover up the sunburn, because even with sunscreen on, you will still burn even more!!

    I have heard of vinegar, don't know if it works- you can also take advil or tylenol for the pain if its really bad- but really, keep putting aloe on it and stay outta the sun!

    My fav method right now is vicodin and jack daniels...tends to help with the pain lol (j/k)

    I have been doing the aloe thing and that is about it...

    Finding a lactating girl to spray me with milk is about as bad as having my buddy pee on me, minus the fact i'd get to see a sweet pair instead of some nathan's all beef franks. Not to mention I don't have the balls to walk up to a girl and be like "hey baby how bout you lactate some of that on my shoulders" I'd probley end up making the next 2 girls one cup video...

    get aloe now. Put it in the fridge. Once it is cold, use it. it will help it hydrate, the cold will take away the swelling (where a lot of the pain comes from) and will soothe it. Also, solarcaine for the sting will help between aloe applications. Take ibuprofen (800s if you got em) to help with the inflammation.

    I got a bad sunburn last month from doing gardening in my back yard. I remember when I was a child my mother always put NIVEA lotion on my body after a good sun burn. She states some people even use it as sunblock. I used it and felt a whole of a lot better the next day. Now NIVEA makes many kinds of lotions but the most effective one is the old school one the one in a blue jar that is really thick. Just rub it really good on your burn over night. Good Luck and OUCH!

    Edit to add: I didnt peel I just kept applying the NIVEA

    Noxzema worked great for me. You just have to get past the smell. Follow the link below to the LiveStrong website.

    Your skin is inflamed.... try some Advil in between your vicodin does. Advil is an anti-inflamation medication. Take 2 every 6 hours for a couple days.



    PS... I am not a doctor.

    Aloe with Lidocain.

    This, too, since you're not rocking a big enough pair to ask random women to spray you with their boob juice ;)

    FULL FAT SOUR CREAM!! Got burnt really severe at the beach, stopped in at the grocery store and this really nice lady said, put full fat sour cream on the burn. This really worked..Took the burn out almost instantly, but took months for the peeling to stop...

    This has always worked great for me - takes the sting out, but need to reapply often
    Lidocaine aloe is pretty bomb too, but a teensy pricey

    Brew up a big pot of black tea (let it cool) and dab it on with a washcloth. Do not rinse it off. Repeat as needed. It's cheap and it works.

    Oh, and wear sunscreen next time. durr

    Here is what I posted when you said you were a lobster yesterday: This is what we did for my son (he had really bad sunburn). use green aloe (make sure no alcohol) and apply to skin. let it soak in. put noxema on your burned skin to dry out any blisters. it will also shorten your 9eeling time. dont shower. wake up, shower, do aloe and than noxema again. take a bath in a milk soak (it's in the beauty aisle). good as new in a few days.
